White supremacy and settler colonialism can NOT kill, maim and steal for decades (or even centuries) via genocidal violence and then expect patience and peace — ESPECIALLY when peaceful protest is met with economic, spiritual and literal death.

"We’ve passed through a racial uprising and a reckoning with sexism, and the cultural project of the moment is… innovating new ways to worship decade-old, BroBible-level brain farts?"

has anyone actually looked at beeple's $69 million 'everydays'? @benadavis went through all 5,000 images so you don't have to (and it's worse than you might think) https://t.co/k1Tw8bz4Zb

Western art history teems with hellscapes—compositions showing all manner of physical, psychological, and spiritual torment. https://t.co/rKqqEhk1rF

Utterly disgraceful @guardian article by Jonathan Jones shows the persistence of racist, colonialist thinking stemming from the appropriation of certain ancient cultures as ‘Western tradition/civilization’ contrasted with those presented as ‘barbaric’ https://t.co/pUqf63T4Lf

Almost 40 years after Audre Lorde’s “The Cancer Journals” changed the cultural conversation around cancer, “The Cancer Journals Revisited” features contemporary women who have lived or are living with cancer reading Lorde’s essays.

The conference is a project of the New Negress Film Society, which works to “center the voices and experiences of Black non-binary, women and girls.” https://t.co/TwQiS1EQdz

“I love that traditional gallery and museum spaces are rather moot, these days. I think it’s urgent and incredible. It forces people to think about who had access to those spaces to begin with — and what it means for art to be “art” as defined only by a paywalled institution.”

[hyperallergic @hyperallergic]

We all know the type. That dude who claps himself on the back for doing the absolute bare minimum? How about the one who likes to call himself a feminist while routinely interrupting women mid-sentence? Or better yet, that guy … https://t.co/C9gi0M7QZP

If no one takes their $$ they may have to spend it all on opioid recovery centers for tax breaks.

A lot of tech that is used at a mass scale was initially developed as a solution for those with disabilities. Think voice to text, autocorrect, predictive text. When we design a solution based on inclusion, we often times make it better for the masses. #inclusivedesign #aeasea

Thank you Roberta Smith who, when I first starting writing when I was 40 - and still a mess - read my work and said "If you don't get better I am going to kill myself." I can't write if writing is without you. Thank you all for changing my life. Art first; all else will follow.

In a new Netflix series, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a Los Angeles art critic who gets wrapped up in a mystery that involves—gasp!—art that kills. https://t.co/LAfLpj0lUY
